After two box-office duds, seems like best friends Abhishek Bachchan and Goldie have decided to go separate ways

Abhishek Bachchan doesn't feature in his best friend Goldie and Shrishti Behl's next two ventures, I, Me Aur Main and London, Paris, New York produced under their banner Rose Movies. While the former stars John Abraham, the latter stars pop singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar. This has sparked off rumours about the end of their camaraderie.

Abhishek, who is Goldie's childhood friend, starred in both his earlier films -- Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai and Drona. Both the movies directed and produced by Behl had bombed at the box office.

Reacting to the ongoing rumours, a source says, "They are still very good friends. But they have decided to keep personal life separate from their professional lives. There can be other reasons for Abhishek not being part of these two ventures.

Maybe he didn't have dates or the roles didn't suit him. Since their past two films have been such big disasters, the possibility of twice bitten thrice shy cannot be ruled out either. But this doesn't mean that they are not friends anymore. It's just that they are waiting for the right script to come their way in order to work together."

A source close to Shrishti Behl vehemently denies the story, "If you notice both the films that Abhishek has worked on were directed by Goldie Behl. These two films are only being produced by Rose Movies.

They are being directed by new comers Kapil Sharma and Anu Menon. Right now Goldie is focusing on production.

"Whenever he decides to direct his next, Abhi will be his first choice."
